Following the meeting, a Twitter spokesperson instructed NBC News that “Jack had a positive assembly with the President of the United States today on the president’s invitation. They discussed Twitter’s commitment to shielding the health of the general public communication in advance of the 2020 U.S. Elections and efforts underway to respond to the opioid disaster.”

Trump’s wonderful assessment of the assembly represented a reversal from his mindset toward the organization simply hours earlier than, on Tuesday morning, while he used his private Twitter account to criticize the tech giant.
